Front parking lights
One thing I really notice on C5's is that when they go by with the parking lights on, they really seem to stand out.
Is there a way to get the C4 front parking lights brighter? Since they're also the turn signals, and there are 2 filaments, would it take a major wiring mod to get them brighter, or is it even possible?

Re: Front parking lights (KY Vette)
There are some that will tell you just turn your park lights on, there are also some that will tell you there is an easy way to wire it up to make it work. Me myself, I just bought the driving light kit and installed it. Works great, I like'em. Some people may not like them. If it's something you really want then do what you think is best for you, buying the kit was easy for me...GOOD LUCK..

Re: Front parking lights (Alcee1)
Can you explain what the driving light kit is? Sorry, I've heard of it, but don't know the details. Is it an easy installation?

They had them at elkers, but I think thay are discontinued. I got mine from a place called J&D Corvette in bellflower ca, 1-800-838-8353. It's a small wire harness that when connected allows your park lights to be on with no other lights on your car on.

Re: Front parking lights (KY Vette)
Thanks for the info. I found this site yesterday during my search, they make it sound like it'll work on almost any car. I was kind of leary of it, to be honest. Did you try it?

Re: Front parking lights (oldace84)
Their site makes it sound pretty easy, but then it says "Select Between Synchronized and Non-Synchronized Mode". I clicked on "order" and it didn't seem to give me an opportunity to make this selection. Unless it's later on in the ordering process.
I think their website might need a little work....?

Re: Front parking lights (KY Vette)
I'm going from memory here so you will want to consult the instructions. When you receive the module, there will be a white wire that loops back into the unit. It will be in Synchronized mode. That is that when you activate the turn signal, both DRLs will go out and only the blinker will illuminate. When you cut the loop (Non-Synchronized Mode), the turn signal will flash and the opposite side will stay on. Check the site - I belive they have on line instructions.
